much faesgaed and willing to rest The
Qasen weighs about two hundred
pounds appare ~, and Washington

The President advanced, and TAX
Ing her hand, babe her welcome 10

lowed. Her majesty wore q long

While at the w lite House Queen
KapiolanI looked very clo1ely at all
other surroundings, and observed each
person present. She has grim cast
Of countenance, and in complexion Is
. clear brown, similar to and about
as dark rs mula,to.
At the dInner glvea by the Hawai-.
Ian minister 10 honor OF his Queen,
the Invitations were limited 10 OH.
cials and 10 thnse who had visited
Honolulu, or whoss names we've Ca
mlllar to the visitors. Among those
present were Secretaries Bayard,
Fairchild, Whitney and RndIcGti,
Postmaster General Villas, Gen. SherI.
dan, Admirals Porter, Stevens, TEN.
pie and Ammen, Chief Justice Waite,
Gen. Greedy and few others, almost
all Of whom were accompanied by la
dies.
When sight seeing at the @ .pitol
the Queen showed special interest Ia
the Hall of the House OF Representa-.
tives. This, she said, was on account
OF the cordial reception accorded to
her husband thero by Speaker Blaine,
when His Majesty KaIakaua visited
this city several wears ago. But she
says the most delightful experience
she has ia America was at the Deal
and Dumb college IN this city. She
Is greatly interested In the work OF
educating deaf muies, and the Presl-
dent OF Kendall Green, knowing this
arranged an entertainment IL her
honor and invited her. Expressing
her delight with the exercises she
made the remark that she wished
she could have embraced all OF the
pupils. To-day she visited the tomb
of Washington with distinguished
party as escort, nt.d this evening she
Is dining at the White House.
Ex-Representative Barbour, o

not possess as large amount of mag
netism as his political rival in Mai NJ
is reputed TO have, the faculty o

sures friendship from nearly all thos
who meet him. Mr.. Barbour sal,
ssfrom the time he takes your han

regards you as his equal, socially,aue
after You have been Ia his compan
five minutes, II you do not feel thor
oughly at home, II Is because yo
cannot be mede to feel 50 under an
